bio

In the work of Joost Krijnen (Breda 1983), lines and colors take many forms, with as an overarching motif the daily routine of drawing, painting, sketching or simply putting lines on paper. Energetic and monumental gestures alternate with elaborate portraits in graceful lines or quick sketches. Strictly geometric, colored planes are brought into perspective by seemingly random first attempts. Dissonant and harmonious; everything comes together on the paper and reacts to each other.
